About me
Have you reached a point where you need to get your health and wellbeing concerns addressed?
Have you had tests done, but still don't feel well? Do you have raised blood glucose, raised cholesterol or a family history of chronic disease that concerns you?
Do you suspect that you have food intolerances and gut imbalances that could be affecting your mood, weight, sleep and productivity?
I can help you to address your concerns by looking at all aspects of your health and in finding the root causes to help you to feel better again and to live a long and healthy life.
My passion for health and wellbeing grew when my husband faced health challenges, and I made it my personal goal to help him to feel better. This led me to find Patrick Holford’s books and subsequently to begin studying at the ‘Institute for Optimum Nutrition’.
I can help you to achieve your goal, whether that be to reduce bloating, lose weight, improve skin, decrease brain fog, rebalance hormones or increase energy - which should in turn all help to increase your productivity and general enjoyment in life. So, whether it be cravings, dietary choices, stress, sleep, nutrient status, gut health, compromised immunity or food sensitivities, we can work together on a programme that may include blood tests, functional tests and meal planners, along with a deep reflection into the matrix of your overall wellbeing to help you to ‘optimise your health, to optimise your life’.

Further information
My passion for health and wellbeing really grew when my husband and daughter both faced health challenges, and I made it my personal goal to help them to feel better. A predisposition to the symptoms of gut health issues, sleep issues, stress, hormonal imbalances and cravings led me to find Patrick Holford’s books and subsequently to begin studying at the ‘Institute for Optimum Nutrition‘.
I decided to take on the four years of study to fully immerse myself in the knowledge that I was so keen to understand in more depth, not only so that I could help my family but also other people who are not feeling at their optimal health and wellbeing.
Since opening my practice, I have presented on the topic of ‘The Big Issue of Ultra-Processed Foods’ and also ‘Men’s Health, An Undiagnosed Epidemic’ in full day lectures for ‘The Institute for Optimum Nutrition’.
I have also worked alongside companies such as Dorset Mind, Rise Wellness and Gym, Running Free, Sustudio Canford Cliffs, The Collaborative Network, Peer2Peer board-networks at Limewood and The Captains Club and online for global companies, Barclays Bank, Simplyhealth, Elsevier and Lexis Nexis Risk Solutions.
I am the Nutrition Expert for BBC Radio Solent where I have a monthly slot, and I was voted the ‘UK’s Most Transformational Nutritionist 2023’ for my work in looking outside of the box when it comes to dietary and nutrition advice and support. I was also independently voted no.1. Nutritionist in Dorset 2024 for my quality of service.
Most recently I was interviewed on the Eventful Lives Podcast with Dodge Woodall which is a leading podcast in the UK with over 100 million YouTube downloads and over 100,000 subscribers, where we discussed the issue of men’s health, sugar, processed foods and chronic disease and I also present for labs such a Regenerus on the topic of cardiovascular health.
